Chapter 13: Never Knowing the Face of a King (7)

"But there must be people in the DPRK and China who want to make trouble." Zhu Cihong scoffed.

Li Banghua nodded slightly: "What His Highness said is true." ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at Li Banghua dissatisfied, and said: "Xiantai is a rare capable official in the court, who knows the army and governs well, why do you also learn from those pedantic and stupid ministers of the cabinet and assistants!" ”

Although it was criticism, Li Banghua's heart inevitably warmed when he heard it.

He is now a senior member of the second grade, in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, serving as the general constitution, and correcting hundreds of officials in the world, which is not inconspicuous. And compared with his colleagues, his exploits are also iron-clad. Whether it is Chongzhen's visit to the city in the second year to defend against the enemy, or the pacification of Jiujiang a few days ago, it is a great achievement that can be recorded in history.

However, the only thing that makes Li Banghua resentful is that he will not be an official.

In the first year of Chongzhen, he commanded the Jingying and presented all kinds of fraud in the Beijing camp to the emperor Bixia. At the same time, with the support of Emperor Bixia, he promoted good governance, and turned the already rotten Beijing camp into a clear-cut and reviewable ...... Honor guard.

Of course, Li Banghua could not conjure up money out of thin air to rectify the army, and could only take food from the mouths of those uncles. Faced with his forbidden body being moved again and again, the lords naturally regarded Li Banghua as a mortal enemy. It happened that in the battle of Deshengmen, the city head bombarded his own people, and he needed a scapegoat to appease the generals, so Li Banghua could only retreat gloomily.

If Chongzhen really has the courage of Taizu and Chengzu, it is not impossible to keep Li Banghua. However, after all, he was an emperor of the deep palace who had just ascended to the pole for two years, and he was worried that the soldiers were coming to the city, and Yuan Chonghuan was not rescued, so he finally let this capable minister return with grievances and began a ten-year idle life.

Li Banghua, who reappeared ten years later, has obviously deeply reviewed his previous Meng Lang.

Zhu Cihong had long been concerned about the situation in Beijing. The three battalions of the Beijing Division are the killer weapons left by the two groups of Liezong to check and balance the localities, and according to the strategy of the army, they are the "backbone" of the country's military strength, and they must outperform the "branches and leaves" of the local armed forces. In this regard, from the Zhou Dynasty's Hojing Sixth Division, Cheng Zhou's Eighth Division, and Yin's Eighth Division, to the Sui and Tang Dynasty's government soldiers, and the Song Dynasty's forbidden army, it can be said that they are in the same line. The Son of Heaven also believes that only by holding heavy troops and controlling light can he sit back and relax.

However, the current situation is a reversal of "strong branches and weak branches". The most capable army in the world is the first to promote the Liao soldiers on the front line in eastern Liaodong, followed by Zuo Liangyu, who is responsible for suppressing bandits. In addition to the army led by Huang De in the Beijing camp, he can still fight, and the rest are even indebted to the honor guard.

However, Liaozhen has formed a real local warlord, and there is no longer an inch of official land outside Shanhaiguan, which is the private land of Liaozhen's military generals. As for the Liao soldiers, they never knew that there was a Son of Heaven, and they would only serve their own masters and generals. Sun Chengzong's seemingly reasonable suggestions such as "guarding the Liao land with Liao people" and "re-controlling the army" were actually a compromise with the Liaodong generals.

According to the official correspondence that Zhu Cihong came into contact with later, Yuan Chonghuan single-handedly slashed Wenlong, and there was also this black shadow behind him. Although it is a bit too conspiratorial, the biggest beneficiary of the Dongjiang Rebellion, in addition to the capture of Huang Taiji, is only Liaozhen. Since then, it has been difficult for Denglai and Dongjiang to compete with Liaozhen for an annual salary of 9 million taels.

As for Zuo Liangyu, who suppressed bandits, although he did not have the same momentum as Liaozhen, he broke hundreds of thousands of troops in March this year, claiming that he was short of money, and wanted to send troops to Nanjing, raise troops to the east, and cover the river. The people of Nanjing migrated overnight, and the civil and military officials were stunned. It's just a matter of changing the flag, and the text is clear.

At that time, Li Banghua was transferred from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and when he traveled to Jiujiang, he stopped the ship and told Zuo Liangyu that he was responsible for the great righteousness, and issued 150,000 taels of silver from the Jiujiang treasury. Only then did Zuo Liangyu return to the land of faith and swore to kill the thief and serve the country. With these two things alone, Li Banghua's ability and courage made Zhu Cihong firmly remember it.

"I was in the palace, and I heard rumors that Xiantai said that day: 'The Central Plains is quiet, and the southeast corner is an ear. As a minister, I can't bear to sit back and watch the break, and I don't care about it! But is that so? Zhu Cihong said slowly.

When Li Banghua heard this, his heart was warm again, and he was secretly agitated. As a Confucian minister, how can he resist the temptation of the "three immortals" of virtue, meritorious service, and speech. However, the Hongru who has been able to establish virtue for thousands of years has finally been counted on one hand, and he does not have extravagant expectations. As for meritorious service, although he thinks that he is not a mediocre person, he may not be able to go down in history. And now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recited his original words in public, which is also an immortal word worthy of gratification.

"The minister did say it." Li Banghua suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded to the old man.

"Only a loyal person like Xiantai can say such a thing." Zhu Cihong swept left and right, and saw that Zhou Jing, Tian Cunshan and others were jumping. The prince didn't say anything, but said: "I left the palace today to be ordered to supervise the Jingshi for disaster relief and epidemic prevention. Bixia heard that the people had their families dying, and they had to burn hundreds of people every day, and she was really sad in her heart. As a son of man, I can't help but share my father's sorrows. It's a pity that people are floating in things now, and they haven't even cleaned up the diving mansion. But I can't wait any longer. ”

Tian Cunshan shrank his head slightly, and once again resisted this black cauldron.

Li Banghua's heart suddenly understood. The prince is a prince to him, and his status is natural, and he does not need to be bribed and wooed. The reason why I said so many heart-warming words turned out to be waiting here.

- The prince is afraid that he will be impeached for his urgent departure from the palace!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is pure filial piety. Even if there are two or three pedantic ministers talking nonsense, it is difficult to defeat the hearts of the people of Heaven and Dao. Li Banghua said calmly. He is the chief official of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, as long as he presses it, those imperial historians will have to give some face. If you don't suppress it, I'm afraid you may not save face for the fifteen-year-old prince.

"I'm not afraid of barking dogs," Zhu Cihong knew that he would be wrong, and said with a smile, "It's just that the relief and epidemic prevention can't be delayed." This is a matter of great effort for the general constitution. ”

The security rectification of the Beijing Division is responsible for the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Jinyi Guard, and the Imperial History of the Patrol City. Among them, the Jinyi guard is the direct guard, the Son of Heaven is the army, and Zhu Cihong is not moving. The Five Cities Terracotta Division is a sixth-rank rank, but he doesn't dare not buy the prince's face, but it has too many mothers-in-law, and in terms of security and theft, it has to listen to the words of the Ministry of War; In the arrest of prisoners, it is necessary to listen to the words of the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate; Even auditing the prices of Jingshi and dredging sewers have to listen to Jinyiwei's words.

Zhu Cihong had long considered his entry point, that is, the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is an established policy to borrow Li Banghua, a capable and hard-working old minister, and this chance encounter is just the icing on the cake, which makes the two people who have no contact more close. Even if he hadn't met Li Banghua, Zhu Cihong had already been prepared to summon the Xianchen.

Li Banghua suddenly felt a little ashamed, once upon a time, the vitality of the year was exhausted in idleness, and now he has become a bureaucrat who can only be an official. Seeing that the prince took things to heart, but was not impatient or impatient, and did it steadily, Li Banghua couldn't help but feel a little more confident.
